Well, they will have my wedding to go to, of course... but I don't want my bridesmaids to be stuck with some dress that they can't ever wear again. That would suck. Most "authentic" BM dresses out there cost anywhere between $200-300, which I think is crazy, especially since so many of them are just going to hang in a closet after the wedding day.

I want my bridesmaids to look GOOD and feel good and, once again, be able to wear their dresses for another occasion. I don't want them spending much more than $100 max. This makes it very difficult to find a dress. It usually costs that much just to rent a BM dress. I think we are going to end up looking in downtown LA for some stuff. But in the meantime, these are the styles I like... Alice unnie and I have very similar visions of what we want for the BMs to wear. we were looking everywhere to see if anyone makes what we already had in mind. Finally, I turned to my fave wedding designer... Monique Lhuillier. Of course, she didn't disappoint.

If we were to do strapless

with straps

and another cute option

Obviously, these are way more than the average cost for BM dresses. But they are posted as sources of inspiration so that my girls know what I am envisioning.
